I fished with Norland today. I haven't had the opportunity to fish with him for a few weeks so I was really looking forward to it. The river was poised to be in good shape and when we arrived this morning she was nothing shy of magnificent. The flow was slightly into the grass and she was glowing that mystical emerald green. Now all we needed to do was confirm a decent push of fish had come up from the lake. Already being privileged to info from the prior days events I was not expecting this to be the case.
As we made our way to the top end we could hear the shotguns in the distance. Fishing this area during Deer season is a little nerve racking to say the least so we took precautions. We must have looked like a couple of lost parking lot attendants parading through the forest in our hi-vis orange vests but if it meant keeping a 1/2" x 1" chuck of lead out of our bodies so be it.
Our little river has reinvented herself this year. The fish are not holding in the typical haunts and it has made for fun and interesting outings. It's nice to be forced to "fish outside of the box". This morning we did just that.

Well done guys! The river sure was prime yesterday!!! We also dodged the bullets and covered a lot of miles up above you - while we found a few fish holding in the unusual patterns you describe a good number of darker fish up higher have started to settle back into more traditional "holding" patterns. It was a great day to be on the river - especially with the lack of other anglers!!!???
Here's hoping for another push of fresh chrome after this weekend's rain.....
Nice pics B - that last one looks like a chrome missile!!
It was a good day even though the river has fished poorly this year...
I will take two fish outing and a nice long walk in solitude any day...
